Day of the Dead Xicágo
Sunday October 29, 3pm to 8pm

Celebrate Día de los Muertos with a festival of light and projections that will transform the Museum’s exterior, bringing it to life. The surrounding area will be turned into an elaborate work of art, featuring visual displays that reveal the story of the Day of the Dead. Families and individuals will create one of a kind ofrendas for their dearly departed loved ones. The Harrison Park soccer field will be transformed for the day into a festive plaza teeming with ofrendas similar to what you would find in Mexico during this celebration. Ofrenda demonstrations, pan de muerto (Day of the Dead bread), live performances, face painting, and art activities will round out the evening.
